Sanders says they tested three different options even before Ferguson.

“We don't want to rush to judgment and we want to make sure we make the right decision,” Sanders said.

While some local departments have already started using body cameras, Sanders is still investigating his options.

Last week, he took his camera concerns to his counterparts in Washington D.C.

“When do you turn the cameras on, and when can you turn them off?” Sanders said are some things that need to be determined. “Do you use a chest mount? Do you use a head mount?”

The two concerns Sanders is most worried about are privacy and the cost of storing video, which could hit millions just for one year of use, he said.

“If we get a call tonight on a domestic dispute and we go into the home and we interview the husband and wife, and then the next day the neighbor files an open records request, does that family really want their domestic dispute to be broadcast to the world?” Sanders said.

Body cameras became a hot topic among law enforcement and civil rights groups following the recent police shooting in Ferguson.

While those on both sides agree body cameras could have played a crucial role in knowing exactly what happened, many do not believe it's the answer. Many people feel an important part of the solution is making people more responsible toward one another.

Sanders says there's still a lot of work to be done to mend the relationship between police and the community, and they hope the discussions continue.

Sanders hopes to purchase body cameras for his department soon.

Metro police plan to start a pilot project with body cameras.

Chief Conrad hopes to start with one division by June and implement it agencywide the following summer.
